I'm in the market for a new printer and notice that alot of them have the option to connect it to the pc with either USB 2.0 or Firewire. I know the difference between the two but what is the advantage of using firewire to connect a printer?
Thanks.

i really do not think there is a difference at all. You don't need to transfer things completely fast to the printer.. i think they have both for the user, meaning some people might not have any extra usb slots open so they have to use firewire instead, and i havent seen many comps nowadays with firewire.. so they would have to use usb.. but its all up to you wat you want.

Firewire has a greater transfer speed. It means that for large files, the job may actually get completed in your lifetime.
Unfortunately it is currently mainly adopted by Apple and made standard on their Macintosh computers.
For others there are PCI cards available

maximum in all probability the reply is C, because "print server" frequently is to do with networking, which may be accessed by skill of an information superhighway browser using the printer's IP handle. 802.11 widely used is with networking. (How would a "wireless"...instantaneous...have a "cable"?)
